Kise and Kuroko (separate) enjoying the winter season with their s/o

We don’t have much of a winter where I am, so it’s always fun to write about it! I hope you enjoy! – Admin Jade


Kise

Exhaling a cloud of steam, Kise rubbed his hands rapidly in efforts to warm them despite the gloves. He looked about, taking in the city park which had been transformed into a winter wonderland with unmarred snow covering every inch of it, the only disturbance his own footsteps that led him to this particular spot.

“Kise-kun!”

Smiling, he turned, eyes shining as you made your way towards him, two presumably hot drinks in your hands. You extended one to him with a sweet smile. “Light on sugar and cream, just how you like it.”

Kise took it, the frost melting from his fingers and sighed as he lifted the cup, closed his eyes and inhaled the lovely caffeinated scent. He’d not thought he would like coffee but you’d convinced him to try it and now it was one of his favorite treats. The steam warmed his face but being with you warmed his heart.

Opening his eyes, he moved to your side, wrapped his arm about your shoulders and pecked the top of your head. “This was a great idea, _____-cchi, it’s so peaceful in the morning!”

You snuggled into his side, shivering a bit. “Yes, but I hadn’t realized just how cold it was going to be!”

Kise chuckled, rubbing your arm. “That just means we have to stay close, right?”

A playful pinch of his side had him yelping as you teased, “Like you need any excuse.”

“So mean,” he pouted, but didn’t move away.

After a few moments of standing enjoying your drinks, the hot liquid warming from the inside out, Kise tugged you forward. As you walked arm in arm, the gentle crunch of snow beneath your feet, the sun began to crest the horizon, sending tendrils of light cascading off the fresh white powder. Looking up, you gasped and pointed.

Kise followed your line of sight, inhaling his own sharp breath when he saw hundreds of icicles hanging in the trees with the sun’s rays creating bursts of color in their refraction. He looked back down to you, watching your eyes sparkle with excitement and drew closer to your face. “I think we have a new yearly tradition,” he said, planting a kiss to your cheek. He drew back, enjoying the pink tinging your face before leaning back down to kiss your lips.  


Kuroko

The sound of holiday tunes and children’s laughter grew louder the closer you and your boyfriend drew to the ice rink. As it came into view, Kuroko stopped abruptly, squeezing your hand. “Kuroko-kun, what’s wrong?”

He swallowed, keeping his eyes fixed on the frozen water encased by support walls, images of coach’s latest training brain scheme flashing through his mind, his backside pulsing at the painful memory. “Eh, just…not a fan of ice,” he said lamely, ashamed he was so afraid to go back out there.

But you squeezed his hand back and smiled. “It’ll be fine, you can hang onto me if you want,” you offered sweetly, tugging him forward gently.

Still resistant, Kuroko nonetheless followed your lead as you made way to the rental booth, but he drew the line at letting you pay for him.

Together you found an empty bench and switch out shoes for skates, fingertips feeling the bite of the cold winter air. After putting your gloves back on, you offered a hand once more to Kuroko. “Come on, we’ll stay on the edge until you feel more comfortable.”

“Won’t we be in the way?” he asked nervously.

“No, experienced skaters go into the center more, we’ll be fine there.” And taking his hand you pulled him up and into the rink, giving instruction as you went.

Soon enough, though still quite wobbly, Kuroko was managing to skate with his hand just hovering above the wall. “I’m fine for now, _____-chan, why don’t you go out and do some real skating? I don’t want this to be boring for you,” he said.

Frowning, you stopped in front of him, hands on his shoulders. “As long as I’m with you, I’m happy, I don’t need to be speeding around if it means leaving you by yourself.”

Kuroko couldn’t stop the flush to his cheeks at your earnest words, still unused to someone paying so much attention to him for anything besides basketball. Smiling softly, he replied, “And I won’t be happy until you’ve gotten some proper skating in. Go on, I’ll have more fun watching you, I’m sure.”

You sighed but nodded, leaning forward to peck his cheek.

Then you were off in a burst of speed that had him catching his breath. How could anyone move that quickly and gracefully on ice? Sure, you were using skates and not shoes, but with the ease of which you moved about Kuroko had no doubt you would have ran literal circles around the team if you’d been with them that day. His smile widened as he leaned his elbows against the wall but a second later his feet slid out from under him and he found himself smacking his butt to the ice hard. Groaning, he tilted his head back, thumping it against the wall as you hurried towards him asking loudly if he was ok.

When you reached his side and knelt to help him up, he asked, “Now can we go get hot chocolate?”

Laughing, you nodded, hefting him to his feet and made your way off the ice.

iii. wedding ft. akashi seijuurou

He does not like everything to be red. In fact, if your favorite color is something else, he’ll be glad to match the decor with it. When he asked you, though, you lean forward, pressing your lips against his before whispering “this color” while playing with his hair

Of course, he blushes, but tries to act cool

Sealed envelopes for invitations

Considering his family background and the operatives of the Akashi household, the wedding has to be grand, as some big people are going to attend. Despite Akashi senior’s demands, though, Akashi is going to downplay the grandeur a little bit, so it’s more of a minimalist-classy wedding

Only a select people are invited for the holy matrimony

He’s not a really big fan of cake, so a small one just as a symbol is cool with him, unless you want a great big one

One word: GORGEOUS!!! I wish I had the knack to find pictures like you! These are stunning!

iii. Living Space ft. Kiyoshi Teppei

Rustic, cozy, although he might still live in the middle of the city to pursue his career or studies

He likes to take care of plants, read, or listen to music in his free time

A lot of people who visit jokes that the place looks like it was decorated by his grandparents. While he is an old soul overall, that joke is part-true: a lot of the things he owns around the house are hand-me-downs from his grandparents

Warm blankets are essential for rainy days and cold weather 

Love!!!! I just want to get in there and snuggle!

Commissions

ourneverendingpossibilities:

Here is the NEW Commissions page. (I’m posting the whole thing for those who use mobile)

My situation has changed, once again.. I’m now stuck being only part-time, meaning I’m making HALF of what I normally make.. (IF I’m lucky.) Throw in the debts I have and you have a stressed out me! Life is tough financially, and rather than feel bad for complaining about my issues, it’s better if I open up commissions for everyone!

  • Pricing: 

This is one of the most important pieces everyone needs to know, thus I shall start with this section. I will be charging based on the amount of words. If I am over, you WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY EXTRA.

Reader inserts/Character ships:

  • 500 – $5 USD
  • 1000 – $10 USD
  • 1500 – $15 USD
  • 2000 – $20 USD

Unfortunately, due to my circumstances, I will be charging a bit higher for self-ships because they take more time to personalize and I’ve realized it’s a bit harder than I first thought. I’ve also taken out the 4k words option because.. Again… It takes a lot to write 4k words. If you want me to write a 3-4k for you, we can discuss a fair price, but it will no longer be an option.. and because of this, I had to raise my prices because my financial situation calls for it.

SELF-SHIPS:

  • 500 – $6 USD
  • 1000 – $12 USD
  • 1500 – $18 USD
  • 2000 – $24 USD

Once again, if you want  me to write more than 2k words, we’ll have to discuss a fair price.

  • Payment method;

The only way I’ll be taking payments is through paypal, as it’s the quickest and safest method of payment..

  • My email/paypal is tiana.ungerer@robertsoncollege.net
  • You will not have to pay me until we sort out the details, as I want the commission to be exactly what you asked for. (Since you’re paying for my services.)
  • I’m also keeping commissions strictly to tumblr and not opening them on deviantart, as I’m not active there.. And it’s easier to keep track of everything here.
  • Once I have an outline and you’re satisfied with the idea, only then will I take payment.. I will not start to work on it until you pay first, because I’ve heard of some people scamming others of all their hard time/effort.

BECAUSE OF MY PREDICAMENT, I WILL NOT BE GIVING REFUNDS.

Therefore, you MUST be absolutely sure you want to commission me, and are okay with this, before we finish talking about the finer details.

Now; last but not least, the rules.

  • I accept Yaoi/Yuri, and NSFW.
  • I will not write Hardcore drug abuse, rape, eating disorders and conditions I know nothing about. (This is true to my normal requests.)
  • If you ask for character/reader, it must be ONE character ONLY. ( I WILL, however, write other characters in there.. But the pairing is character/reader)
  • Threesomes are okay, (For you sinful viewers 😉 )
  • If you don’t want me to post on here, let me know. I’ll send it to you through email if that’s the case.
  • PLEASE don’t claim my writing as yours if you plan on posting on your own blog/site .. At least give me credit for the hard work!

Aside from that, I don’t have anything else to say.. The main fandom will be knb, but I can also write a few from Haikyuu! and Bleach. (Feel free to ask for some of my old works.)

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I love you all and you have no idea how much your support means to me!.

Please consider commissioning Tia!

And Tia, my offer to help still stands.

Can I ask for a scenario with Bokuto ? Where where he’s in college and living with a roommate, and she’s p cute but chubby. After a stressful day he comes home and feels oddly and asks her to go to the grocery store to buy snacks. Afterwards they watch horror movies together and cuddle, and they kinda end up kissing ? I’m sorry I can’t get enough of College AU Bo, there’s just not enough out there ;-; and fluff is always nice 😽 Thank you!!!

haikyuu-imagines-and-others:

Awww I love this idea! SO cute! Hmmmmm~ I wonder which of the Chubby Anon this is~ Thanks for requesting!!! – Admin Satori ❤

Bokuto Koutarou:

You were in the middle of your homework when your roommate barged into the apartment, and jumped about 5 feet in the air when you heard him slam the door closed.

“Kou-?” You didn’t have the chance to finish asking him what was going on before he was stomping his way into the living room and tossing himself onto the couch, hiding his face in his arms under his head. What had happened that made him completely ignore your call? Granted, the two of you had only been roommates for a semester, but you’d known the vibrant ace in high school. You’d been someone he’d go to with things he couldn’t make sense of.

But lately… he’d been avoiding you completely. As if you were a disgusting disease. And it hurt. It broke your heart that he was pulling away from you. Your little piece of heaven slipping through your fingers no matter how hard you held on.

You stood from the dining room table, closing your books before making your way into the living room. “Koutarou?” Your voice was soft, and Bokuto couldn’t explain away the way your presence, your voice saying his name, made his heart flutter in his chest. But he refused to answer you. Not you. Not with how confused he was over everything going on. Reaching down, you placed your hand on his broad shoulder, your fingertips trailing the span of muscle from his spine to his where his shoulder curved into his tricep. His insides clenched excitedly from your gentle touch – and he hushed the feeling away. “What’s wrong, Kou? Bad day?”

What was he accomplishing? By ignoring you…. Absolutely nothing. So he let out a huge sigh, his shoulders relaxing from their tensed up position, but now straining his triceps with the odd angle. “Yeah…. Bad day.” You smiled sadly, watching him brush off your touch on his shoulder so he could sit up properly. He crossed his arms over his chest, a forlorn look on his face, a cute pout on his lips.

Taking a seat next to him, you leaned closer, bumping your shoulder with his arm playfully, “You wanna talk about it?” He had your full attention, he always had. How could he not? You were smitten from day one. The only thing stopping you from asking him…. Was your self-conscious…. The evil little voice inside your head asking ‘why would someone as amazing like him like someone like you?’ And you knew it was wrong. You knew you were an amazing person – not a mean bone in your body – loving all your fiends and family for who they were…. So why were you always hesitating on that question, on that confession, whenever he was near?

Bokuto turned his head so he was staring down at you, butterflies tickling your insides at the way his golden eyes seemed to trap you in their gaze, his eyebrows furrowed in though, and you wondered what it was he was so focused on. Was it you? Or the bad day he’d had? He was silent for a long time, staring down at you with the most concentrated look you’d ever seen on his face – even more intense than his expression during the most tense of tournaments.

Inside, Bokuto was trying to figure out what it was he was doing. What he was feeling. What was this feeling? This aching in his heart, this pain whenever he was out of the apartment, the longing he felt in his very soul whenever he’d catch you snoozing on the couch or hunched over your assignments. He’d never felt something like this before. Ever. All his life, he’d focus on volleyball, getting stronger and faster, making as many friends and connections as he could – because life was short, too short to focus on the bad things for too long. But he did focus on the bad things – because that’s how he was wired. He couldn’t stop himself from thinking that way….

But whenever you were around…. It’s almost as if all those bad things disappeared. Dulled until the moment you were gone, then rearing their ugly heads to remind him what he’d been down about before you came along. Before you brought your light into the shadows of his mind. “Nah… I’ll be okay… Just a little stressed out.”

The smile that lit your face made his heart skip a beat, and he wondered if that was normal for a friend to experience. Were you feeling the same thing? He’d have to ask you later…. When he figured it out himself. “Aren’t we all, Kou? It’s college, not coloring class.” Bokuto snorted at your lame attempt to tease him.

“Wanna go to the store with me? Load up on junk food?”

“And then have a movie marathon? Before finals?” Your eyes sparkled excitedly, your smile blinding him and making him feel… He didn’t know what he was feeling – but it sure was making his heart go crazy. “Oh, Koutarou… You’re a boy after my own heart~!” Then you were up and getting your shoes on, “Come on! We gotta get a move on if we’re going to get the best stuff!”

A rush of excitement shot down Bokuto’s spine, pushing him off the couch and follow after your example, pulling on the shoes he’d just taken off. ‘After my own heart’, your voice rang in his head, sending chills across his skin and filling his head with images of the two of you. He couldn’t make sense of the imaginings themselves, but a warmth made itself known in his chest, spreading throughout his entire body, from the tips of his hair to his toes. You did that. Your words. “Well then let’s goooooo!”


Junk food all around you, wrappers littering the living room floor, the TV showing the climax of Pacific Rim. Your eyes were focused on the TV ahead of you, watching the action scene, the fighting, the detail of the monsters, of the scenes; Resting your head on Bokuto’s shoulder and enjoying the warmth his body emitted, reveling in the way his right arm had wrapped around your shoulders and pulled you to rest against his chest. Bokuto had been watching the movie just as intensely – up until the main characters had connected over one of their pasts. Then he’d turned his eyes to you, staring down at you intensely, feeling as if he were about to burst. Why? Why did he feel like this? He’d never thought of it before, but maybe he’d felt like that for a long time now – and it was coming to its own climax much like the movie you were giving your attention to.

But he wanted your attention on him. He wanted you talking to him. Cheering for him. Hugging him… Being there for him… Whenever he needed it.

And you had. You’d been there for him. Ever since high school. You’d been right there for him to talk to – to sort things out with – to make sense of the feeling he couldn’t understand. Bokuto blinked as he inhaled slowly, his eyebrows still furrowed as his left hand reached up from his lap and took hold of your chin.

“Kouta-“ You didn’t have the chance to finish your quiet whining, his hand turning your head to face him directly before his lips were pressed against yours. The desire to watch the rest of the movie was thrown from your mind at the pressing of his lips, feeling the slightly chapped texture, the warmth that spread throughout your body. You could be happy, you decided. With him. With Bokuto.

Bokuto continued to kiss you softly, finally finding the answers he’d been searching for. You. You were the answer. How had he been so dumb to not see it before? When you kissed him back, a smile curled his lips against yours, his arm around your shoulder pulling you so much closer. Your hand traveled up and cupped his face, feeling as if your heart were about to burst from how fast it was beating; ‘Please…. Let this be real.’ You couldn’t help but think as he broke the kiss, staring up at him with wide eyes, his own golden eyes having an unrecognizable emotion swimming in them – ‘Please.’

hahahahahaha how about some fluff/angst >:)

I loved this! The inner turmoil, the doubt, the realization and in a very Bokuto way, the action.

YESSSSS CLASSIC FROSTY AND FRIES!!!!!! And I actually went to Japan! It was SUPER AMAZING!
And tbh I had NO idea you were married!! But congrats!!! You two sound absolutely adorable ��������

LOL, I knew I wasn’t the only one who loves that pairing! And thank you, we were just commenting today that we’re that gross adorable couple everyone rolls their eyes at but secretly thinks we’re super cute LOL. We celebrated 10 years this past October. 😀

2. What weird food combinations do you really enjoy?

Dipping my french fries in my frosty, both from Wendy’s

I’ve always wanted to go to England, Ireland and Japan, so if there was anyway to do it all, that would definitely be a dream come true!

This is gonna sound odd, but I love my bulldog’s snore. It ranges from log sawing to high pitched and cute.

5. If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose?

GAHH!!!! Too many to choose from! My first gut reaction for some odd reason was a fem. Sherlock. It was the very first thing to pop in my head followed by Batman (or really Batgirl I guess)

6. Do you collect anything?

Not really, I don’t have a lot of space in my house right now, so I try to get only things I REALLY want or need. If/When I get more room and start reading them more, I’ll probably end up collecting mangas.

7. If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet?

I would love to meet Jared and Jensen from Supernatural. They seem like such awesome guys and it would just be so cool to meet them.

8. What ice-cream flavours do you love/hate?

Love: my mother-in-law’s homemade ice cream (seriously any flavor is amazing)

Hate: Usually things with nuts in it.

Again, here’s my sappy self, realizing I was in love with my husband (when we were dating) and knowing I’d finally found my “one”.

10. What does your name mean to you? Your real name.

Truthfully, it’s just my name lol. There’s no super deep meaning attached to it for me. 


Again asking the same questions for @yourhaicuties, @kumikoshortcake, @hq-cuties-pls, @nsfwhaikyuu-knb, @xxxneonsoundxxx, @imagine-that-haikyuu As always do not feel you need to play if you don’t want to 😉

1. What is your favorite memory?

Mine and my husband’s wedding day. It was as close to perfect as we could ever ask for, save for my brother-in-law not being able to make it because he was busy saving houses in a mountain fire. Other than that, I cherish the day I married my best friend.

2. Are you an early bird or a night owl?

NIGHT OWL! Which doesn’t fair me well since I have to be to work by 7:00 AM every day. lol

3. What is your favorite thing to do?

I have a few: writing, reading, watching netflix, crunchyroll, prime tv (notice a trend lol?) Playing games (individual or with friends/family), playing with my dog.

4. Would you rather live on a house at the beach or live in the mountains?

I think the beach is beautiful but I do not enjoy sand so definitely up in the mountains.

5. What’s your favorite food?

Pizza! I can eat it over and over lol. But right now I’m not because I’m working on losing weight lol.

6. What’s your spirit animal?

This will sound funny because I have one, but I feel like mine would be a bulldog. Because I’m loyal and love snuggling close to my loved ones. I have a tendency to be lazy lol, but I can be fiercely protective as well. And as much as I can enjoy solitude, I also love being surrounded by friends and family.

7. What traits do you value the most?

Loyalty and honesty are huge with me.

8. If you could make a fictional character real, which one would it be?

Oh gosh, there are way too many options! After the dream I had one time, I’m gonna cheat and say the Karasuno third years.

9. What does your perfect evening look like?

Depends on how much energy I have lol. But usually it’s me in comfy clothes, on my couch with my honey and my bully nearby, eating junk food (how I miss it right now lol) and either watching or playing something. Or writing if I’m feeling inspired.

10. Do you have pets?

As mentioned above I have an English bulldog and we have 6 fish. 🙂


I’ll ask the same questions (I’m lazy forgive me lol) to @terriblesportsimagines, @haikyuu-plus, @ninja-crows, @hiding-from-senpai As always don’t feel like you have to participate!

Soulmate AU! Where when your soulmate dies you become colorblind! Aomine-Kagami-Imayoshi suddenly go colorblind in the middle of practice/work…. make it as depressing as you please

imagine-knb:

I took some creative license. Hope you don’t mind!
-Neon

Kagami: When Kagami had first walked into your shared home, finding it completely ransacked and torn apart, he knew that foul play was the cause. He wanted so desperately to believe that you hadn’t picked up and ran away from him; something bad had happened and he was going to find out what. He had enlisted the help of anyone willing; police, private investigators, his own friends. If there was any chance they could find you, he’d gone to them and begged.

Months passed and people began to really wonder if you had been kidnapped. With no sign of you at all, the rumor that you had left him without saying anything had begun to spread. The fact that he could still see color, so vibrant and in full spectrum, had people believing this was true; if it had been kidnap, you would be gone by now.

Kagami, ever stubborn and trusting in you, refused this as a possibility.

“Why would ____ just get up and leave,” he often argued. “We were happy together. ____ wouldn’t give that up!”

Slowly, one by one, the people he’d enlisted to help him stopped. With so much time between your initial disappearance and the present, any chances of finding you had come and gone. He would be a one man search party.

It didn’t stop Kagami from believing though as every night he went to bed, he prayed to whatever celestial being would listen that he’d get some answer about you. Every morning he woke up seeing those bright yellow curtains you’d placed on the window and he’d know you were still out there somewhere waiting for him to find you.

Then one day, as he sat up in bed and rubbed the sleep from his bleary eyes, he looked across at the window to where the curtains looked to be almost white in color. Thinking they were getting sun bleached, he glanced over to the wardrobe where he knew the large mirror you used was placed. In his reflection he saw tired eyes, a beaten body, and so so much gray.

Feeling more numb than ever before, he lay back down in bed as tears spilled from his eyes. Kagami couldn’t tell if the loss of color in his life was more of a sorrow or a relief.

Aomine: “On the card, can you type ‘I’m sorry’ in that fancy, curly font?”

The old man behind the counter gave Aomine a knowing smile. How many young men had walked into his florist shop requesting a beautiful bouquet along with an apology note? Giving the younger male a nod, he walked off to the ancient computer sitting on his counter top to have the card printed out.

Aomine bounced in place from one foot to the other, his arms cradling the bouquet like it was a child. He didn’t have the sense to stop jostling it around so roughly and, with each movement, one brightly colored petal after another had started falling to the floor. Not that anyone could tell; he’d gone and bought the biggest bundle of flowers he could find.

He’d made a mistake, one that he deeply regretted, and though it had taken him a few days of cooling off Aomine was finally admitting his error. He’d been calling you nonstop since the moment he woke up, hoping you’d stop ignoring his calls and pick up the phone. Even now, as he stood at the register and waited for the old man, his hand was busy pulling up your number over and over again.

“Come on, pick up,” he encouraged, only to hear the dial tone once more. Trying one last time before the florist came back, Aomine dialed your number and placed the phone against his ear. There was a click. “____?”

He could hear your car radio, but it was faint in comparison to the old man’s voice coming back across the counter. “I’ve finished your card. It that all for today?”

As Aomine turned to answer the man, the phone jostled from his ear and fell to the floor. He clicked his tongue, knowing you’d be mad at having a loud noise such as that against your ear. One more thing to apologize for. Then he noticed something.

“Hey, when did you change shirts?” Aomine could have sworn the old man had been wearing blue earlier, but now his shirt was a deep, inky black.

The frown he received in response was worrying and, before the old man could even answer, Aomine held the bouquet of flowers at arm’s length to get a good look at them. He could only see gray.

Through the speaker on his phone, the faint sound of sirens and the crackling of a car fire echoed.

Imayoshi: He knew your time had been coming close to an end when his vision began to flicker, notes of color sometimes seeming too dull or too gray to be what they should. It had been happening more often lately, his vision going blurry for a split second before the world suddenly seemed monochrome. Each time made him panic, each time making him rub at the corners of his eyes until the color came back.

Of course, each time this happened, Imayoshi was sitting by your side in the hospital. He’d began to notice that the loss of color always coincided with your  loss in strength, so he always made sure to be holding your hand.

“Dear, could you get me some tea?”

There was a frown on his face at your question. He knew exactly what you were  talking about; that bright green can from the vending machine just down the hallway. It was your favorite and it would be cruel of him to deny you that, but the thought of leaving you for even a moment was becoming too painful for him.

Noticing his hesitance, you placed a rather shaky hand against his cheek. “I’ll still be here when you come back. It’ll only be a moment.”

The words themselves weren’t reassuring, but the fact that you had the strength to reach his face was. With a bit of a grim smile, Imayoshi nodded before letting your fingers slip out of his own. If he had a choice, he’d be there and back in less than a flash.

The hallway seemed longer than normal, but Imayoshi knew it was all just his imagination; the mind could play cruel tricks on people who worried. At the vending machine, he fished around in his pockets for change before finding the exact amount. The familiar whir and clunk of the machine was almost a comfort to him as he watched the single green can of tea fall to the opening below.

“Make way!”

Staff bustled behind him and, on any other day, his heart would have skipped a beat. But there was a gut feeling that they wouldn’t be running toward where his mind wanted him to believe. After all, he could always reassure himself as he picked up the can of tea.

It was gray.

And Neon breaks our hearts!
